T20 World Cup

England beating Pakistan is a good result for us. The game tonight against SL likely determines if we get to the SFs. A win eliminates SL and a positive NRR would help too before the last game.

We lose the toss again and bat

Siefert dropped hopefully he gives them the brook treatment

Danger man Allen out 30/1

Siefert goone 34/2
Maybe posting is causing wickets will check score at end of innings lol

Were they in the nets with a different coloured ball? Chapman and Mitchell were bloody miles away.

Clearly pace off is king. Lots of grip on this surface too, so part time spin has a place. Massive well done to our lower middle order for even giving us a target to chase. Satnav and McConchie fcuking outstanding. Highest NZ 7th wicket partnership in T20. Don’t know if we have enough to win but at least something to bowl at. Please don’t bowl pace. NZ 168/7 after 20

I stand corrected that 7th wicket partnership is apparently a world record of 84 runs

So we start bowling with pace and Henry takes wicket first ball lol… wtf do I know

Henry 9 balls so far 2 wickets 0 runs … champion effort

SL's lowest ever powerplay in T20 world cups.

Bloody impressive so far, who's going to be the one to go for 30 off their over? RR?

You're welcome

Incredible effort this, even we can’t lose from here. Amazing comeback. McConchie selection delivered in spades.
Pressure on Pakistan and their net run rate if we lose to England. Beat England and we’re in anyway, well done lads

17 overs of spin from NZ lol, only happened once before

That first ball from Henry was an absolute peach/jaffa
and to take out one of SL's key batsmen too, no wonder it went downhill for them from there

Bring Ravindra up here, I wanna boof him.

Fantastic all round effort.

A real captain's performance.

I will have to watch some highlights with these shitty match times.

We will need to lose badly to England and Pakistan to thrash SL for us to miss out on the semi's

Looks like Pak win/NZ lose by around 70 runs or 6 - 7 overs to allow Pakistan to overcome our superior net run rate.

Excellent result.

Ravindra making me eat humble pie for saying he shouldnt be in the T20 side. What a big game performance.

Captaincy certainly seems to suit Santner. Wonderful cricketer.

Ravindra took awhile to find his feet at test level as well to be fair. Time will tell whether or not he bothers with shorter forms as he gets older.

Things tracking well but always dangerous commenting on NZ Cricket when things are going ok so I'll leave it at that.
